BANGOR, Maine — Police are seeking help finding a suspect they say stole a car from the Holiday Inn parking lot on Odlin Road on Thursday morning and then collided with another vehicle on I-395 near the Farm Road exit.

According to a release from Bangor police Sgt. Catherine Rumsey, police received a report at 6:24 a.m. of a black 2005 Pontiac GTO stolen from the Holiday Inn parking lot. At around the same time, reports came in of a crash on I-395 near the Farm Road exit. There, they found the stolen Pontiac wrecked and abandoned.

Witnesses told police the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed when it hit another car, causing both to crash, according to Rumsey. The suspect, described as a tall, thin, white male wearing an “orange-ish” puffy jacket, flagged down another car, which took the Farm Road exit. The car that picked up the suspect is described as a dark, possibly gray sedan.

The driver of the car the suspect struck suffered injuries and taken to a local hospital, Rumsey said.
